Page 17 of the Gray Commission Report continuation of Appendix II recommends that Virginia’s schools continue operating under segregation for the 1955-1956 school year, as the Commission deems an immediate transition to a non-segregated system impractical. It argues that administrative and logistical challenges make integration unfeasible and advises the governor and the State Board of Education to maintain the current segregated structure. The Commission commits to further study and plans to submit a future report with specific legislative proposals but advises against calling a special session of the General Assembly at this time.
